What is it we do at SAP Labs Israel?

Get your geek on – and design and build the best technology

We develop for a wide array of strategic SAP products, focusing on SAP Cloud platform, but also covering other solutions, including Customer Identity Management, Machine Learning Foundation, and People Engagement.

Our SAP Cloud Platform Portal Services group is leading the transition of SAP’s user experience towards modern, flexible and intuitive UX in the Cloud. Powered by SAP Cloud Platform, the group develops innovative products based on cutting-edge technologies that serve thousands of customers globally, across industries.

Our SAP Cloud Platform Commercial Foundation group builds the infrastructure that provisions and manages the platform commercially – from order entry to provisioning the system, measuring the platform usage and billing it back. As one of our latest innovations, we have helped extend the SAP Cloud Platform with a consumption-based pricing model that is run in our infrastructure and provides more choice for our customers.

Our SAP Cloud Platform Multi-Cloud group enables the SAP Cloud Platform to run on different IaaS vendors, following SAP's Multi-Cloud strategy. SAP Cloud Platform is the first and only end-to-end digital enterprise platform that offers you the flexibility to use the infrastructure provider of your choice: SAP, Amazon Web Services (AWS),Microsoft Azure (as public BETA) and Google (aspublic beta).

SAP recently acquired Gigya, a world leader in customer identity management, which currently manages 1.3 billion customer identities in order to build identity-driven relationships for its enterprise clients. Our Gigya team is part of the SAP Hybris business unit for customer engagement and commerce.

SAP Vehicles Network

In 2002, SAP acquired Menahel, software for financial & accounting management, to expand into the rapidly growing SMB market segment. The solution became known as SAP Business One.

Our product and solution management team addresses market needs from all over the world, working closely with business partners and customers. Their work results in continuous innovation and improvement for the benefit of our customers.

Our SAP Fieldglass team plays a crucial role in the development of SAP Fieldglass, SAP's cloud-based Vendor Management System (VMS) for managing services procurement and external workforce programs.

Our DevOps collaboration principles and tools enable SAP development teams to accelerate their product delivery and improve quality via automation of their development and test environments. With our team's knowledge and skills, we are in the perfect position to “evangelize” DevOps practices, help development teams increase effectiveness and improve SAP product quality.
